Ingredients
- 1 large crusty bread thick loaf, i.e., a rustic Italian or French loaf
- 8 cloves garlic crushed
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 4 TB butter regular
- 4 TB olive oil good quality
- 1 cup italian blend cheese shredded
- fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Combine the crushed garlic, garlic powder, butter, and oil in a saucepan and heat over low for several minutes, until incorporated. Set aside.
- Split loaf in half, lengthwise, and place on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush bread generously with garlic butter mixture.
- Bake bread 5-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove bread and sprinkle evenly with cheese and parsley.
- Adjust oven to broil, and place bread directly under broiler for about 1 minute, or until desired level browning is achieved and cheese is melted. Watch carefully and remove bread as soon as it looks done.
- Cut into thick slices and serve immediately.

- For the best results, use a thick, crusty loaf of bread like a rustic Italian or French loaf. The texture and density of this type of bread hold up well to the garlic butter and cheese.
- Fresh garlic is key in this recipe. Don't be tempted to use pre-minced garlic from a jar; the flavor won't be as fresh.
- Crushing the garlic rather than mincing it gives the bread a more intense and rustic garlic flavor. This also prevents the garlic from burning in the oven, as larger pieces can withstand the heat better.
- This cheesy garlic bread is perfect for dunking into a big bowl of spaghetti, like some Creamy Bruschetta Pasta and Spaghetti Carbonara.
